Take the 10 Tools Challenge

I’ve added links to blogs of some of those who are taking the challenge at the bottom of this post. If you’d like your blog to appear, add the link in the comment box below

For 2013 why not take up this professional development challenge. This is how it works:

Make a resolution to find out how to use 10 new tools this year (say one a month) and how they might help with your personal productivity, professional learning or development, or for use in education or training, or in the enterprise for performance support or workforce collaboration.

You could decide all or some of them up front, or make your choices as you go through the year,

Include a link to this post in each of your blog posts, so that a trackback will be recorded below.

At the end of the year write a post reflecting on the whole experience and what impact it has had on you and your professional development. (I’ll do a review and analysis of those participating in the Challenge myself.)

I want to join the challenge! Thanks for the motivation, Jane. I am trying to get some others to participate with me. I have posted about the 10 Tools challenge on my blog:http://techtalkforteachers.blogspot.com/

I have already started exploring new tools at http://mayraixavillar.wordpress.com/ 🙂 and I wanr to continue doing so and be part of this challenge now because I believe it´s a great way to keep my skills updated and find creative ways to present learning content. Many thanks for this great initiative, Jane!

I like the idea but would lie to include learning how to use a tool in a new way. When talking to others I have found how to use a tool, I have been familiar with, in a different way. It is always so useful to share , even if you think that it is “old” news.

Well I am up to the challenge and I set up a blog at http://alearningcafe.wordpress.com
and I have started with Evernote which has been a four day nightmare – I am sure it will get easier once I figure out what to do.

@jane I guess you could ask people to use a certain tag and then aggregate all the posts somewhere using the tag to filter? I’ve participated in the Netsquared blogging rounds and they asked people to send their blogposts by email to one person.

I’m taking on the 10 Tools Challenge. What an awesome development goal for 2013. I have thought about blogging for months, but it’s been kept in my head. Now, is the time for action. Thanks, Jane, for all the encouragement and tools!

And I saw the question about how to be able to follow each others blogs. I don’t know how it works technically, but I join the #ETMOOC at the moment and they have collected all blogs, so we can follow each other with one RSS feed: http://etmooc.org/hub/subscribed/
